>Description:
Server IBM x336 with two intergrated Broadcom (bge) chip network cards
and one raiser pciX-133Mhz with Broadcom chip.

With two intergrated card, all work fine.
But with exteranal network card, i see problems.

1. Link on 1000baseTX never UP (under linux and windows it's OK)
2. Force setting media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex cause link up, but in this case packet loose occursed.

For example ping Catalyst where we directly connected

setting -rxcsum -txcsum don't take any effect.
